Abstract
In the paper parallel algorithms for two popular simulation methods: cellular automata and short range molecular dynamics are presented and their implementation on networked workstations and CONVEX Exemplar SPP1000/XA is reported. Programs are equipped with load balancing procedures based on local self-timings and they are useful for simulation of large systems wit 107+lattice sites and 105+ particles.
